With the dream of winning an olympic gold medal, Jakara Anthony decided as a teenager that she would start skiing full-time.
By 2022 she recorded the most successful season by an Australian winter sports athlete in history.
At the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, Jakara won every round of the competition to become just Australia's sixth ever winter gold medallist, and the first since Lydia Lassila in 2010.
In the 2023-2024 World Cup season, she won an incredible 14 World Cup events, which is the most ever by a mogul skier in a single season.
I absolutely loved hearing more about the way Jakara prepares to perform. For her, it’s not about the podiums and the records, it’s about challenging what is possible not only for her, but for women in the sport as a whole.
